Poverty can be alleviated by population movement. newlineGenerally poor tend to migrate less to high income places for the better newlineincome. When a person migrated then the whole family will be affected with newlinethe consequences of the migration. From the development point of view newlinemigration in developing countries is consider as a family or household newlineactivity rather than an individual decision.

This theory is also very important in newlinethe context of HIV/AIDS which exposes households to numerous cries for newlineinstance when an adult member of household become ill and due to illness if newlinehe had to give up his job then household income will fall. To cope with the newlineincome changes and the shocks children are often dropped out from the newlineschool to earn and to assist in caring, women have to do hard work for extra newlineincome and most of the time family have to borrow money from others. So newlinein this reference this study tried to examine the association between poverty,migration and HIV/AIDS and its economic implication in the context of newlinemigrants from Uttar Pradesh. newline
